The Ainsley's Day 2...

2:58 AM

So of course these post aren't the day of or day after but I'm gathering time to find the words to support the events of the day... The first official full day was Kasey, Matt and myself, heather had to work, so we headed bright and early to the USS Arizona Memorial. we arrived right when it opened and were the second boat to leave for the site, while we waited we took the audio tour of the museum and main lobby area. The total time it took us was about 2 hours. It was very informative but also emotional especially when we saw three of the survivors signing autographs outside the bookstore. After the tour we headed over to the Aloha Bowl to do the famous Swap Meet. At the Swap Meet, Matt and I got our ink but it was only temporary but we still looked hardcore and Kasey found tons of treasure to take back to Orlando. Following the Swap Meet I took them to my work at Ft.Shafter and showed them the historical Palm Circle, which was also a film location for the movie Pearl Harbor. Continuing on towards Waikiki, we stopped at the Palace and strolled the parade grounds. Kasey decided to carve her and Matt's initials in the big tree with the thousand others, until she was snitched on by a rude lady that went and got security... All he said was, "no carving on the tree, see the sign"... OOOPS... After defacing Hawaiian history I continued to aid and assist the criminal and Matt to Ala Moana Mall and Beach Park before meeting Heather for dinner at the Panya Bistro...
